The r. III. Mcdonald, Jr., d.
vorce suit came up before Judge
Hunt, Friday morning.
r. III. Mcdonald, Jr., in butter
nut suit, sat with his lawyer, Judge
Sawyer. He came in first, and eyed
the spectators in a nervous sort of
way.
Mrs. Mcdonald occupied a chair
in the jury box and looked rather
aggressive. She had on a dark
blue dress and a small bonnet, dec
GRATED with bunch of red berries.
Sawyer moved the case be tried
with closed doors, when Judge
Hunt said it would be better if all
divorce cases were tried in open
court. 1t was decided that the case
should go over till next Friday.
When that decision was arrived
at Mrs. Mcdonald made a rush for
the door. She suddenly stopped,
beckoned to Judge Sawyer, who
gally gambolled up to her, smiled,
looked astonished, opened his
mouth, closed his eyes and then
gasped out Mcdonald"
Mcdonald, who had been twist
ing about in his chair, ran up to
his wife and the trio walked out to-
gether.
1t is presumed that Mrs. Nc
Donald and r. IL. Mcdonald, Jr.,
intend to settle their grievances
and have now gone to Judge Saw
yer's Office to come to some agree
ment.-Post.

Serious Accident.

WABusKA, Oct. 15.-At the races
at Pizen Switch, this afternoon,
Sadie G.. flew the track, ran into a
barbed wire fence and threw her
jockey, Lee Mccullough, seriously
injuring him. He is still uncon-
scious, and fears are entertained OF
his recovery. The mare is owned
by Stollard, of Dayton, and valued
at 81 900. She was badly gashed
by the wire, and it will be months
before she will be of any use to her
owner.

There are rumors of trouble i

There are rumors of trouble in
the Inter-State-Commerce Commits
sion. It is said that Col. Morrison
is not rated quite as high by his
colleagues as he thinks he ought to
be, and seriously contemplates re-
signing. Morrison is not a very
easy fellow to get along with. He
took his defeat for Congress sadly
to heart, and charges Randall as be-
ing at the bottom of the whole af-
fair. He possesses good deal of
bulldog tenaclty, and his better
qualities are displayed where there
is more frightening than on a quiet
and laborous Commission like that
of the ter-State-C Commerce. The
thought that he cannot have hand
in the tumults of the next Congress,
annoys him.

of my kidneys. The pain would then go
upwards and effect my body and head,

There is an expression current that the ma

there may he something in the soap question

some that the real laundry work properdates
